Solving systems of equations means finding the _______________________________ point of

two lines.

The _____________________________ point is the ___________________________.

There are ________________________ types of systems:

Example 1 Example 2 Example 3

5𝑥 + 3𝑦 = −19 5𝑥 + 6𝑦 = 45 2𝑥 + 3𝑦 = 5

8𝑥 + 3𝑦 = −25 −5𝑥 − 6𝑦 = 38 6𝑥 + 9𝑦 = 15
 Steps
1.

2.

Example: 5𝑥 − 3𝑦 = 23
2𝑥 + 𝑦 = 7

Step 1 Steps 2 and Step 3 Step 4

 Steps
1. ________________________ one or both equations by a _______________________
to result in two equations that contain __________________________terms.
2. __________________ the equations, __________________________ one variable, and then
solve.
3. ___________________________________ to solve for the other variable.
 Steps

1. Isolate y so that each equation is in ______________________________________ form.

2. Input equations into Y1 and Y2

3. Press then then

OR

4. Press to see where Y1 = Y2

Example: 26𝑥 − 𝑦 = 15
13𝑥 + 𝑦 = 180

Solve for y Graph Table

 Steps
1. Solve one of the equations for _______ or ________.
2. _____________________________ the resulting expression into the _____________________
_____________________________ to replace the variable.
3.
4. _____________________________ to solve for the other variable.
Example
𝑥+𝑦 =2
−3𝑥 + 𝑦 = −2
